Cross-Post Guidelines

We are happy to cross-post a few pets at a time for other rescue groups to give
those pets a better chance at finding new homes. However, because many of
our applicants do not readily grasp the concept of a cross-post and think these
are "HART dogs and cats," we require the following from groups that cross-post with us:

Rescue groups must be responsive to inquires they receive
via the HART website. When they are not, it reflects negatively on
HART.

Rescue groups may not solicit funds for their pets via the
HART website. By virtue of the inherently confusing nature of cross-posts,
this creates additional confusion with applicants and supporters, both
HART's and the cross-poster's.

Rescue groups must adopt out responsibly, which includes
requiring pets be spayed or neutered, interviewing applicants, visiting the
applicants' homes, and obtaining veterinary references.

Failure to meet any of these requirements will result in HART's refusal
to cross-post for an adoption organization.
